H.R. No. 1523 is a resolution passed by the Texas House of Representatives during the 89th Legislature, Regular Session, in 2025. The resolution seeks to suspend part of House Rule 13, Section 9(a) to allow a conference committee to address differences in House Bill 46, which pertains to the medical use of low-THC cannabis under the Texas Compassionate-Use Program. Specifically, the resolution permits the committee to add new text that clarifies a physician's ability to prescribe more than one package of low-THC cannabis to a patient within a 90-day period.
The resolution was adopted on June 1, 2025, with a vote of 128 in favor, 12 against, and 1 present but not voting. This change aims to enhance the clarity of the prescribing authority of physicians involved in the Texas Compassionate-Use Program, ensuring that patients have better access to necessary medical cannabis treatments.
